“Somethin’ needs to be done NOW!” Bane growled bursting his way into Luther’s office without notice. Within seconds the older wolf had the man pinned against the wall beneath a choking grip and watched as his feet kicked violently in the air.

“Who the FUCK do you think you are barging in here like this? You want to die today, Mutt?” He received no answer. Instead Bane’s eyes began to roll to the back of his head which only made Luther squeeze his throat tighter within his hands. “I don’t know how things worked in Greymane but I’ll watch your head pop and have my dogs feast on the mess you leave behind if you ever disrespect me again.” He tossed him hard. His head bounced brutally against the wall and he slumped to the floor.

Luther stepped over his prone body kicking him as he returned to his desk. Giselle smiled amused at witnessing the Alpha’s rage directed towards someone else.  She turned and slinked behind the Alpha. Her hands gently rubbed over his neck and he groaned his appreciation his eyes still focused on the treacherous wolf near his door. “Was there something else you needed?” he sneered.

Bane nodded negatively and pulled himself to his feet. “You’re lucky. He seems in a relatively pleasant mood today,” Sonja hissed watching Bane slink out of the office and down the hall. “You’d have been dead otherwise.”

“Oh yeah? And what pray tell can I attribute to such a kind gesture?” Bane asked smugly and crossed his arms into his chest. “Don’t tell me, my ruggedly ‘andsome smile eh?”

She rolled her eyes and turned heading towards her room with Bane quickly behind her. “Your attitude isn’t at all a concern for Alpha and it’s likely to get you killed if you keep it up. Trust me, I’ve been on the receiving end of his anger once before.”

“Well you look just fine to me, Sonja is it?”

“Only because I was able to provide him an in with those wolves. Alpha wants to take Greymane down and if that means breaking every rule in the book then so be it. He’s tried to get his hands on that wild wolf hoping that he’d take true to his nature and kill everyone in sight but there was something else there.”

“What does that mean, Love?”

“Faith, our Seer, she said he wasn’t like the others. She wouldn’t go into more detail but whatever she said Alpha believes is the reason he hasn’t reached his full potential yet.”

“Yeah, ‘e’s found ‘is mate. The only reason ‘e ‘asn’t gone loco is cuz she’s keepin’ ‘im on a leash ‘cuz they ‘aven’t bonded yet. But sever the link, weaken the wolf.”

“And what exactly makes her so special? Why are you so intent on having her?”

“Ya jestin’ right, Love? She’s an Alpha whelp. Ya ‘ave any idea ‘ow much that means to the average bloke? Survival of the Fittest, Love. It’s all about bein’ top dog!”

“Yes but she’s already mated with…”

“Mated not bonded. She’s still likely to be claimed by any wolf darin’ enough; like me for example. I ‘ave ‘er, I ‘ave everythin’. Not to mention she’s sorta wild in the sack; always a bonus,” he winked and moved closer. “So what’s say ya, Sheila? Anyone lay claim to that gorgeous bod?” Bane asked leaning against the door preventing her from moving. His eyes roamed over her body stopping visibly on her chest and he licked his lips.

Taking one step back she entered the door of her bedroom and Bane shut it as he followed inside. Instantly his back was against the wall as Sonja aggressively charged his lips. Bane couldn’t hide the smile on his face as she quickly ripped the shirt from his chest and kissed her way down towards his zipper. “Not that I’m complainin’ but do you even know my name, Love?”

She gave him a seductive smirk and pulled him towards her bed. Dropping onto the small ottoman at the foot of her bed, she guided Bane down to his knees and spread her legs in front of him. He didn’t put up a fight. He knelt down willingly and placed his hands along her legs, running them gently up her thighs. She grinned deeper and hiked her skirt up to give him a clearer view of her red lace panties. “Take them off,” she ordered, “And get to work.”

He gripped the waistband of her panties and pulled them down revealing her completely shaven pussy. He licked his lips and Sonja moaned watching him in anticipation. She pulled her shirt off quickly and with her right hand pushed his head down to her awaiting pussy. He inhaled smelling her arousal; she was already wet and ready. He smirked up at her, pulled her up from the ottoman and slammed her onto the bed. She groaned the moment his tongue pushed between her creamy thighs. Cupping her bare ass, he licked her delicately along her clit. Her nails scraped against the back of his neck, scratching the surface of his skin. And it encouraged him to pursue her more enthusiastically. She moaned deeply; biting her lip to stifle her screams.

She came against him with a low moan and pushed him up to his feet. In one hasty action, she had his belt undone and his pants down around his ankles producing a humorous chuckle from Bane’s throat. He kicked them from his feet and pulled her up around his waist. She kissed him fervently tasting herself on his lips.

With her dripping pussy hovering inches above his hard dick, he plunged her down, tightening his grip around her waist and pushed his cock deep inside of her. She yelped in surprise but enthusiastically wrapped her arms around his neck as he grabbed onto her ass and bounced her up and down against him.

She leaned back, tipping her weight in his arms and rolled her hips into him. Sighing heavily, she felt herself on the verge of climaxing again and clenched her legs tighter around him. Their skin slapped together swifter filling the room with the sounds of lust. He was shocked at how wet she was and her screams of passion took him back to the very heated first time he had with Kaya.

Bane’s eyes closed tightly and he pushed Sonja up against the wall as she came down from her orgasm. Thrusting deeper and harder, their bodies slammed against the wall and they worked in rhythm. Between heavy breaths, he grunted Kaya’s name and felt Sonja’s nails dig into his neck in response. He didn’t care. He wasn’t doing this for her benefit but for his own. This wasn’t the person he dreamt of when his eyes closed. She wasn’t the wolf he wanted to mother his pups and her blood was just as common as his own. The one he wanted he’d have soon enough. Just as soon as Luther came through on his promise.

Thinking about Kaya’s firm breasts pressing against him, her perfect ass in his hands he pumped quicker imagining they were together. A grin played on his lips as he thought about eliminating Rafe to get at her again. The pure look of rage on his face when he attacked him. Bane knew it had been for more reasons than his words but because he’d brought his mate to several orgasms and made her scream his name for hours on end. It was jealousy in Rafe’s eyes no doubt. And it would be jealousy again when he is forced to watch her bond with someone else. Bane was like an animal in heat feeling Sonja’s soft skin against him as he thought about his victory. It had been a while since he allowed himself the pleasures of a woman. He had been holding out for Kaya but he was letting himself enjoy this.

Sonja began grinding harder just the way Kaya would when she was finally pushed over the edge and Bane finally lost it. Dropping her to the floor he cried out Kaya’s name once more and pumped his spasming cock into his hand. His sperm unloaded against his skin and drops splashed onto the carpeted floor creating a small mess in the corner near her bed. “Fuckkk!” he hissed in pleasure and let his tense muscles slowly relax.

Grabbing her shirt, he wiped his hand and cleaned up the remnants of his orgasm from his still twitching dick. His knees buckled and he found himself sitting on the floor in front of Sonja, a wicked smile on his lips as he stared at the annoyed look on her face. “Thanks for that, Love.”

“I WANT HIS HEAD!” Lobo growled and threw the glasses on the bar to the ground in one powerful swipe. “You find him and you bring him to me! I don’t care what you have to do. I will watch him take his last breath if I have to squeeze it from his lungs myself!”

Claire and James sat quietly across from their Alpha as he raged on. He’d received word of what Bane had done from Ulrick and immediately took action. Bane had severed his ties to Greymane placing him off the grid making locating him the traditional way impossible. “He’s with Luther no doubt,” the Alpha turned his back as he spoke and glanced out at the Koi pond towards his daughter. Sorrow filled his heart the moment their eyes met and she quickly turned away.

They had still not reached a stable point in their relationship. She’d cut off all conversation with him instead opting to send any pack business through letters that only explained the event and course of action she would take. There was never an intimate expression from her or questions concerning how he was doing; strictly business. He missed his little girl; even moments when they disagreed, especially then. at least when she was arguing with him she displayed her emotions. It wasn’t this void she left him in blocked off from her feelings and even lengthy eye contact.

“He used my Babygirl. He tested the patience of my wolf. He betrayed this pack and sold us out to one of our mortal enemies. If he is met with some tragic circumstance on your return trip, you will not be held accountable.” He leaned against his desk  and sighed as he bowed his head.

“Kaya is like a daughter to us Alpha, always has been. We cared for her in France and raised her around our own. Seeing her going through this is like watching the heartache of one of our pups. Don’t worry. We’ll find Bane and we’ll make him regret the day he ever laid eyes on her,” James spoke and got to his feet. They bowed their respect and he followed his wife towards the door.

Lobo waited for them to exit before turning to meet Ulrick’s gaze momentarily. “You are really tempting the council, Armand,” Ulrick sighed and stepped forward. “It was enough that you went on Gideon territory to find Rafe but this? You’ve blatantly given order to kill a wolf you know is under Luther’s command! Are you trying to start a war?”

“Luther started this war! I’m simply firing back!” Lobo turned with fire in his eyes as he looked at the man standing before him. “What would you have me do Rick? What is your wise suggestion? That I allow him to get away with what he’s done? That I ignore his disrespect and disregard for my command and my pack? That I let him believe what he did to my daughter was acceptable? No. I’ll take whatever punishment the council deems necessary but Bane’s death is imminent!”

Ulrick turned and started for the exit as Lobo took a seat behind his desk. “I saw you,” he spoke as he 

reached the door. Releasing his grip of the handle he turned to face his longtime friend and mentor. “At the concert.” Lobo dropped his head into his hands diverting his gaze. His thoughts held that of seeing his daughter doing what she loves most up on that stage. “Nosebleed section at your own daughter’s event?”

“She wouldn’t have wanted to see me there so I stayed out of sight; at least I thought I did. I didn’t want to distract her from what she was doing. But there was no way I was missing her concert; I am after all Night Shift’s biggest fan.” A good-natured smile tugged at the corners of his mouth and he turned to look for her in the gardens but she had already gone. “They did a great job. Everyone loved it. It gives an old man a sense of pride watching his child become successful.”

“Have you tried talking to her?”

“And tell her what? That I’m a fool? An inconsiderate father who believed he was doing what was best for her? She’s heard it all before, I’d rather not bother. She’ll come to me when she’s ready. Anything more from me at this point I feel will only push her further away. And I’d die if she cut me off completely.”

“And what about her mate, Rafe? Perhaps if you explained to her how you felt…”

“I’m happy for her Rick, I am. She’s found her true mate and deserves to be with him. But as a father, as an Alpha, as someone who has seen what that man is capable of, I fear for her at the same time. I cannot watch her die; I won’t!” He stood and started towards his friend. With a look of sincerity he turned the subject towards something he’d been avoiding concerning his mate. “How’s Izzy doing?”

Ulrick sighed and his face visibly fell as he thought about his lost love. Nodding his head negatively he shrugged his reply. “I haven’t seen her in over a month. She left home and because we’re not bonded I can’t sense her either.”

“What? Why didn’t you say anything before?”

“Because I was trying to handle this quietly. You’re the only one that knows about Isabella, you know that. I didn’t want anyone else learning about this.”

“Izzy is a part of this pack, Rick. Her well being is my concern. I’ll work on finding her. Put your mind at ease.” Nodding his gratitude, Ulrick started out of the lounge and headed towards his room. One thing was certain, putting his mind at ease over his missing mate was easier said than done.
